gtrace-path-analysis
Network Path Analysis with gtrace
How to Call the gtrace MCP Tools
python3 $MCP_CALL "gtrace mcp" TOOL_NAME '{"param":"value"}'
When to Use
- Trace the path between two endpoints and identify each hop (router, latency, loss)
- Detect MPLS labels, ECMP load balancing, and NAT translation points along the path
- Monitor a path continuously with MTR to identify intermittent packet loss or latency spikes
- Run distributed traceroutes from 500+ GlobalPing probe locations worldwide to compare paths from different vantage points
- Verify transit providers, peering, and routing policy by inspecting AS-level path data
- Troubleshoot asymmetric routing, suboptimal paths, or blackholes
